First, I want to congratulate Jeffrey Scott. He won the advanced reader's copy of The Secret Files of Fairday Morrow I gave away when I interviewed the authors, Jess and Stephanie. If you didn't win but still want a copy, the giveaway is in its final days, so find it on my interview post here.Meanwhile, in the days leading up to Christmas, I wanted to share my fun new Christmas village. From far away, you can't tell what it is...

But as you get closer, that house looks a little too familiar.

There's a standard scene that could be part of any village scene...

But then you see it. After this, you know exactly what movie inspired this Christmas village.
